The paper of the SMEs in the externalización of the Manufacture of Machinery for a Market in Expansion
The increasing demand of industrial machinery, promoted by the modernisation and automation of numerous sectors, is generating the need to work with skilled SMEs in the manufacture of industrial machinery for third.
We speak of companies that produce frames, chassis, carcasas or mechanical subsets to measure. This favourable surroundings opens an interesting market, although it also imposes new requirements that no all are prepared to assume.
The Externalización like Tendency in Growth
Increasingly manufacturers of machinery resort to the externalización of structural components to be able to centre in his main specialisation or to optimise terms and costs. In this context, the able SMEs to manufacture structures to measure, according to plans of the client, adapting to the requirements of personalización specific, position like strategic partners.
However, it is important to stand out that no all the companies of the sector have the resources, technical capacities and necessary internal structure to operate under these standards of requirement.
Besides, an increasingly valued factor by the manufacturers is the real experience of workshop. The practical knowledge purchased in the daily work —from the adjust of tolerances until the selection of the best method of manufacture for each piece— represents a differential degree in front of competitors that only offer theoretical capacities or automated.
The Value of the Adaptability and the Specialisation
The SMEs that yes can offer this level of personalised service contribute a series of competitive advantages very valued in the current market:

The Value of the Adaptability and the Specialisation
The SMEs that yes can offer this level of personalised service contribute a series of competitive advantages very valued in the current market:
- Productive flexibility: capacity to work in only projects or short series, adapting to changes of design on the fly.
- Experience in interpretation of complex plans: command of tolerances, finishings and specific technical requirements.
- Solid knowledge of workshop: the practical knowledge to resolve unforeseen of manufacture and optimise processes of production of efficient way.
- Agility in the processes: main rapidity in the taking of internal decisions and adaptation to new projects.
These skills, combined with an approach of continuous improvement and a control of rigorous quality, mark the difference among basic providers and true partners industrial.
Challenges to Consolidate in the Market
In spite of the opportunities, the SMEs have to face several challenges if they want to consolidate like providers of reference:
Enabling of the personnel: interpret correctly flat, technical specifications and specific rules of each sector requires continuous formation.

Enabling of the personnel: interpret correctly flat, technical specifications and specific rules of each sector requires continuous formation.
- Technological investment: the incorporation of software of design, systems of management of production (ERP) and control of quality automated goes back indispensable.
- Capacity of response: manage beaks of demand without engaging the quality is a logistical and organisational challenge.
- International competition: the pressure of manufacturers to low cost obliges to the European SMEs to bet by the quality, the reliability and the normative fulfillment like competitive advantage.
Perspectives of Future: A Growth Sustained
The tendency to the externalización of structural components in sectors like heavy industrial machinery looks to consolidate to half and long term.
However, only those SMEs that invest in profesionalización, develop specific competitions and adopt a mentality of collaboration on a long-term basis with the main manufacturers will be able to benefit fully of this growth.
The future is promising, but demanding: in this new stage, adaptability, experience of workshop, quality and commitment will be the keys that define the success.
